LYRICS
Fire And Rain by James Taylor
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby
One more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now

Lee Sklar on bass and Carlos Vega on drums. James has always played with top notch musicians.

I noticed Leeland was on bass right away & was pleasantly surprised. I didn't remember he played bass with James also.

My Father loved James Taylor, my Father had very bad Dementia and he didn't know me when he passed, but he could sing fire and rain, also you've got a friend. He didn't know who I was, but Sir he knew who you were😢.

I can't begin to count the times I've heard "Fire And Rain", but Dan Dugmore's pedal steel on this puts the song through a completely different sonic lens. Absolutely beautiful.

🩷 This ‘new’ updated video version of the 1986 release! Being 70ish, I grew up with J.T.’s music and this song. Hearing it again NOW for the 1st time in years brings back many great 👍 memories from the bygone ‘good ‘ole days’, when ‘life’ was so much simpler. For example, people were kinder, more respectful of others, places were safe to go to - and in general the world 🌍 was a much better one than it has been for decades, likely before a lot of you watchers were born. I’m glad to see that James T. is still performing live! 👏

I love this song . I was an eleven year old silly little girl . I may have been young and silly but I was in love and I learned heartbreak for the first time. I didn't know it but God I wish to turn back time. 😊❤

Com certeza um dos meus maiores ídolos. Suas canções acalmavam minha alma na infância e juventude. Aqui também temos outro ídolo no contra baixo; Leland Sklar. Vida longa a esses gigantes da música.

Best ever live concert performance of James Taylor's early signature tune? I think so. You too? But then I'm like that character in Finian's Rainbow: When I'm not near the one I love, I love the one I'm near." Thanks for sharing James Taylor.

This has always been a favorite, but ever since 9-11, I think of that day every time I hear this song now. the line "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground" seems prescient.
